Wasn't sure where to post this, hope this is the right place.
Had a problem last night with Moho wanting to reactivate and unable to contact their server, that's resolved now.
During the process I checked for updates and after the message stating I was up to date all my Moho windows resized to a different resolution - much smaller.
I quit and rebooted and they went back to their normal size but the Tools had disappeared.
I have a set up on dual monitors, the lower being a Wacon graphics display.
I undock all elements I use.
On the lower screen I have the main drawing window and tools, undocked and on the right of the screen.
On the higher screen I have the Layers, Timeline, Library, Actions and interpolation dockers - these are all back in place.
If I dock my tools they appear in the normal place on the left of the screen.
If I undock them they're gone.
I wonder if they are trying to appear way off the screen.
I've tried moving my drawing window way to the left and use the top screen but still I cant make the tools appear.
I find it really awkward having them on the left.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this or am I going to have to uninstall and reinstall Moho?
Thanks in advance for any support.

Re: Undocked toolbox disappears on dual monitors
You can try editing the settings by hand, by going to your user folder. In my case it is this one:
C:\Users\vipar\AppData\Roaming\Smith Micro\Moho Pro\12
There you can see the "Moho Pro12.user.settings" document
- Save a backup of that document (to have in case something breaks)
- Open the Moho Pro12.user.settings using Notepad
- Inside of the file, search for "ToolWnd_location"
- There will be two numbers next to it, change them to "1 1" (one space one)
- Save the changes, close the document and reopen Moho
- The Tools window should appear in the screen now (at top left). Move it wherever you want
- Close Moho (so it saves the new position in the user settings file) and open it again

Wow! Thanks Victor. I’ll try that.
Presumably this is the same for Moho 13?
Thanks again.

You are welcome
I think Moho 13 should work in the exact same way.
When you have the chance, please confirm if it works for you or if you need more help.

Victor, you're a star!!
It worked a treat.
I've never been inside program folders like that before so it was new and a bit nervous for me but worked straight away.
Thanks so much for taking the time, I really appreciate it.
